- Pàdraig: Gabh mo leisgeul.
- Excuse me.
- Anndra: Seadh?
- Yes?
- Pàdraig: A bheil thu eòlach air taigh Aonghais Mhòir?
- Do you know Big Angus’s house?
- Anndra: Tha. Carson?
- Yes. Why?
- Pàdraig: An toir thu seòladh dhomh air a shon?
- Will you give me directions for it?
- Anndra: Tha e air taobh thall an rathaid.
- It’s on the other side of the road.
- Pàdraig: A bheil e fada?
- Is it far?
- Anndra: Chan eil. Theirig sìos an rathaid dà cheud slat, is bidh e air do làimh dheis.
- No. Go down the road two hundred yards, and it will be on your right- hand side.
- Pàdraig: Mòran taing. ’S e taigh tughaidh a th’ ann, nach e?
- Many thanks. It’s a thatched house, isn’t it?
- Anndra: ’S e. Ach a bheil thu a’ coimhead airson Aonghais?
- Yes. But are you looking for Angus?
- Pàdraig: Chan eil. Bu toigh leam an taigh aige fhaicinn.
- No. I would like to see his house.
- Anndra: Carson?
- Why?
- Pàdraig: Is toigh leam taighean tughaidh.
- I like thatched houses.
- Anndra: Glè mhath. Chì thu e. Tha e furasta aithneachadh.
- Very good. You will see it. It is easy to recognise.
- Pàdraig: Tha fhios gu bheil. Mìle taing.
- I am sure it is. A thousand thanks.
- Anndra: ’S e do bheatha.
- You’re welcome.
